摘要

NMFS issues this supplement to the proposed rule for Amendment 4 to the Coral FMP, which is contained in the Comprehensive Amendment Addressing Essential Fish Habitat in Fishery Management Plans of the South Atlantic Region (EFH Amendment). The supplement is intended to provide information inadvertently omitted from the summary of the initial regulatory flexibility analysis (IRFA) published in the proposed rule to implement Amendment 4 to the Coral FMP. Specifically, this supplement summarizes IRFA information regarding the economic impact the proposed rule would have on the shark, grouper, and tilefish fisheries.
